Intro
A
[Verse 1]
A
Well I met you in the middle of a bar room fight
A
In a cheap hotel on the Missouri side
E A
I had you out in my car in the parking lot
A
Early next morning we were driving east
A
Headed for the big city where I felt at least
E A
We could enjoy the weather as long as we didn't talk
[Pre-Chorus]
G
But I spoiled it by speaking my swirly head
E
And you rolled them eyes turned to me and said
[Chorus]
D
There's only one thing you got wrong with you
F#m
It ain't the whole world looking at you
E
Why don't you find yourself a life that's real
E7 A
Too lazy to work, too nervous to steal
[Post-Chorus]
A
[Verse 2]
A
Well we got to the city and you got a job
A
Delivering the L.L.Bean catalogue
E A
I was bored and restless, didn't know where to go
A
Late one evening after I got up
A
My guitar and I found our way into a club
E A
I saw the queen of diamonds work that big dance floor
[Pre-Chorus]
G
Well she looked at me but I couldn't go
E
That familiar face said, do you want to know
[Chorus]
D
There's only one thing you got wrong with you
F#m
It ain't the whole world looking at you
E
Why don't you find yourself a life that's real
E7 A
Too lazy to work, too nervous to steal
[Solo]
A
[Bridge]
F#m A
You gave me 24 hours to pack up my bags and glide
F#m E
No one's got respect for a man going over the side
E7
Well-llll
[Verse 3]
A
Now you went back to the station to make sure I was gone
A
That bus was on time you didn't have to wait long
E A
I saw the bright lights of Nashville disappear behind me
A
Well that Greyhound was cool under the summer heat
A
I could still see your face from my window seat
E A
I was so happy to see your crooked smile of relief
[Pre-Chorus]
G
But after miles and miles of that highway has droned
E
I hear the last thing you said when we were all alone
[Chorus]
D
There's only one thing you got wrong with you
F#m
It ain't the whole world looking at you
E
Why don't you find yourself a life that's real
E7 A
Too lazy to work, too nervous to steal
[Outro]
D A
Too lazy to work,
D A
too nervous to steal
D A
Yo-do-lay-dee-hee
D A
